Default mods you regret, ones that you love

Really folks. Its fun to mod and it seems when something comes out that can hurt your car or whatever, it seems like everyone has to have it regardless of the consequences. I am curious, which mods have you regretting spending the money and time on and which ones make you happy every time you get in your car, regardless of how small or big. I have actually heard a couple people say that they regretting absolutly everything they have done after-market wise to their car, either from the product being inferior or because the scratched or dinged the car in the process. Just wondering.

i regretted doing every na mod to my z, with the exception of the UR pulleys and Lightweight clutch/flywheel combo.

i gained **** and wasted too much money on exhaust/headers/intake/tuning

To be honest I don't think NA mods are a waste. Alot of peoples are disappointed with the numbers that NA mods can get them. But at the same token you have to look at it like this. Do you want a daily driver and a reliable vechile or do you just want pure power with mainteance here and there. I can tell you from stock to modding the Z NA it became a different beast. If you have NA mods race a stock Z from a dig and from a roll and you'll see a big difference. 30-40 extra rwhp on our car compared to stock is huge to me and is alot stronger. That's my perspective!

Love the popcharger because it does make the car a little more peppy and sounds awesome. Hate the popcharger, because now I want to do more mods.

The one mod i've regretted is the B&M short shifter... hated the thing, huge waste of money.

The one mod i think i'll love is the JWT flywheel im getting put in. Driven a Z with it, and i cant wait.
